for a great source for old and really old newspaper articles dating back to the 1870's and even earlier.
Its a great source,they best way to see oll the articles available on any bout, is to just type in the name of the fighter you are looking for,like John L. Sullivan,
or Jack Dempsey or even a obscure contender.
It will turn up hundreds of articles where the name is in any article,but it doesnt list them chronolocially(like the articles from the archives at the Washington Post does),so you have to go through each article summary,but its worth it.
